CHAPTER THREE

Meeting The Horde

"MURDERERS!" Twilight screamed. "OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO COULD SAVE US, IT HAD TO BE YOU TWO!"

"And I'm beginning to wish we hadn't." Zorann snarled. "Let's just kill them. They're not wearing their fancy Elements, so this'll be an ideal chance at some revenge." He grinned wickedly.

Twilight gasped. "The elements ... I forgot to ask the Princess if we should bring them."

"Which brings me to the question, how did you get here?" Luxxoria asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We found the spot where you came into Equestria and I cast a spell which duplicated the one you used to get there. So we were able to use your portal to come here."

The two Horde exchanged a curious glance.

"Oh, I see." Zorann said. "You're here to spy on us."

"What? No!" Twilight protested. "We're here to study your use of magic, so that we can defend ourselves against it should you decide to come back!"

"Oh, don't worry. We're not going back." Luxxoria sighed.

"Well that's good." Said Twilight. "But another of your kind might come along. And I want to make sure we're ready for you."

Zorann laughed. "It's a good cover story, I'll give you that."

"DANGIT, WE AIN'T NO SPIES!" yelled Applejack.

"Enough of this." Zorann snarled, turning to Luxxoria. "Hold them."

Luxxoria nodded, and snapped her fingers.

"Hold us?" Asked Rarity. "What on Earth are you ta-"

Her words were cut off as she was suddenly frozen in a block of ice, much to the shock of the others.

"Rarity!" they shouted. They stood their ground as Luxxoria walked towards them.

"Looks like we're going to have to defend ourselves, girls!" said Rainbow Dash. As soon as she gets close, let her have it!"

Twilight started charging a spell, aiming it towards Luxxoria. With a snap of her fingers, she was suddenly in the middle of the five friends. They gasped.

"FROST NOVA!" yelled Luxxoria. She grinned as a blast of ice wrapped itself around each pony's hooves.

"What in tarnation?" Applejack spluttered. "Ah can't move!"

"Me neither!" Fluttershy whimpered.

"Release us this instant!" Twilight demanded.

Luxxoria sighed. "Oh, do shut up." She said, as she snapped her fingers again, and yelled "RING OF FROST!"

A blue circle appeared around the six ponies. Each of them felt the air around them getting colder. As they struggled to free their hooves, a crackling noise froze them all solid.

"Nicely done." Zorann said, as he clapped his hands. "You stay here and keep an eye on them. I'm going to Razor Hill for a cart."

Luxxoria nodded. "What are we going to do with them?" she asked.

Zorann laughed.

"We're taking them to the Warchief."

The room slowly came into focus as the six ponies rubbed their heads and groaned. Upon seeing each other, they tried a group hug, only to find that they were chained together.

"Where are we?" asked Fluttershy nervously. "What is this place?"

"You are in Orgrimmar, capital city of the Horde." replied a deep voice. "And you will remain here while I figure out what to do with all of you."

"Who's there?" Twilight demanded. "Show yourself!"

Heavy footsteps resonated throughout the room as a figure emerged from the shadows, his bulging muscles and brown skin forcing a small gasp from the six friends.

"I am Garrosh Hellscream." He said, "Warchief of the Horde." He cast a disapproving gaze upon his prisoners. "Now, tell me who you are, and why you were trespassing in my lands." He sat down on a large chair that closely resembled a throne.

"Two of your Horde came to our land a few days ago." Twilight said bitterly. "They attacked a defenceless town, and killed several of our friends and neighbours."

Garrosh waved his hand. "I already know of this attack. Now tell me why you are in my lands." He gazed at the six ponies.

"We are here to observe the ways your kind uses magic, so that we can learn how to defend ourselves against it." said Twilight nervously, avoiding Garrosh's eyes.

"Do not fret, little one." Said Garrosh dismissively. "The Horde may be seen as evil, but even we know the difference between innocents and enemies."

Twilight smiled and Garrosh clapped his hands together. "BRING IN THE COWARDS!" he roared.


An orc entered the room, pulling on another chain. Attached to it, Twilight recognised Zorann and Luxxoria.

With a grunt, the orc pulling the chain threw them to the floor in front of Garrosh.

"Warchief, I-" Luxxoria began.

"SILENCE!" Garrosh roared. "YOU WILL SPEAK ONLY WHEN I SAY SO, YOU DESPICABLE MONGREL!"

Luxxoria flinched and bowed her head.

"You two have brought shame upon the Horde with your actions." Garrosh grunted. "Just be thankful you're not going to end up like Overlord Krom'gar." Garrosh spat at the mention of the name.

Luxxoria and Zorann exchanged a worried glance.

"Instead of killing you, I will instead punish you in a way you never thought possible." A grin spread across Garrosh's face and he snapped his fingers.

With a click, the chains binding Twilight and her friends were removed, and they stood up, nursing their aching hooves.

"You two are going to teach these ponies what they want to know." Garrosh stated. "And I mean EVERYTHING!"

Zorann, Luxxoria and the six friends gasped in shock.

"Warchief, with all due respect, that is a bad idea." Luxxoria said timidly. "What makes you think they will accept our teachings after what we did?"

"Two reasons, elf." Garrosh hissed. "First, because I will simply kill you if you don't. Second, these ponies are now your superiors, and you will do as they command. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" he roared, spittle flying in all directions.

Luxxoria shuddered. "Y-yes, Warchief! Crystal clear!"

Zorann raised a hand. "What is it?" Garrosh sighed.

"They say they are here to learn about our magic so they can defend themselves against it. But what if they try to use what they've learned against us?"

Garrosh brought his face close to Zorann's. The druid gulped.

"Then let them!" Garrosh roared, sending Zorann sprawling onto the floor. "And after what you did, I wouldn't blame them if they did try to kill you both!"

Garrosh laughed as he started walking out of the room. "You have a lot of work to do, so I suggest you begin!"

Garrosh left the room and stepped out into the streets of Orgrimmar. Another orc, clad in jet black armour, approached him and saluted.

"Gordul." he said gruffly, addressing the orc in front of him.


"Yes, Warchief?" Gordul replied. "How may I help you?"

"See to it that they get out of my city as quickly as possible." Garrosh replied. "Once they are far enough away, I want your assassins to kill them all. Understood?"

Gordul grinned. "It would be a pleasure, Warchief."

"This whole thing stinks of Alliance." Garrosh grunted, sniffing the air around him. "This seems like the sort of thing they would do."

Gordul nodded. "What of Zorann and Luxxoria?" he asked.

"They have let me down for the last time." Garrosh snarled, his face twisting into anger. "Kill them both."

Gordul saluted and disappeared into the shadows as Garrosh looked up at the sky.

"I see through your plan, Alliance filth." He said angrily. "And you will pay for your trespass against the Horde."
